Flowers make me happy. They are nature's ultimate expression of beauty and give me a sense of peace.

Whenever I am in my studio, I am often working on 15 paintings at a time and I have all of these eyes looking at me. When I need a break from all of the faces, a palette cleanser, I turn to flowers to help me regain my equilibrium.

Flowers in gold

The golden flower paintings use a China red and gold, and are all framed.
